You don't have to identify as a millennial to obsessively monitor the return of low-rise jeans, but we do, so we'll own it. Regardless of past experiences with below-the-belly-button denim, it's evident that the barely there and occasionally hard-to-wear style is back, at least for the time being.
The controversial Y2K trend has been spotted everywhere from affordable retailers to haute couture designers, most recently appearing on the Miu Miu F/W 24 runway show in Paris. And while we aren't exactly embracing this blast from the past head-on, we must admit the exaggerated belt buckle, cropped denim jacket, black loafers, and flowing faux-fur coat are a fun twist on the always alluring Canadian tuxedo.
Keep scrolling to see Miu Miu's two low-rise denim-on-denim looks straight from Paris Fashion Week. Then keep scrolling to shop the style right now from several more affordably priced contemporary brands. The only thing left to decide is belt or no belt.
